I, Sumedh Pande, take your leave and please tune in for the live coverage of India's next game against Australia on 12 June. Till then, log in to Sportskeeda for anything and everything related to cricket. Goodnight folks!

Mithali Raj: Jhulan's first spell was crucial and then the spinners came and did their job. We were brilliant in the middle overs where we piled on the pressure with a number of dots. Cricket has evolved which makes a team have a number of all-rounders. It's delightful to have 2-3 all rounders in our team. I always enjoy batting and today was no exception."

Inoka Ranaweera: "Very disappointed with our performance. We made a lot of mistakes today. Hope to improve in the next game."

Deepti Sharma: "The pitch was slow which is why I took some time and played late. I focussed on timing rather than hitting it with power. Time in the gym helped me to hit aerial shots. Enjoyed my bowling too."
